Leader In Training (LIT) Positions

Summer 2017 LIT positions are still available.

The Canterbury Hills Camp LIT program is an exciting, fun and rewarding way to develop leadership potential. The program includes a balance between intentional learning sessions and learning that happens through hands-on experiences. LITs work closely with our Resource Team, Overnight Leaders, and Day Camp leaders as they deploy their gifts, skills and enthusiasm through a wide variety of camp responsibilities.

LIT Benefits:

Learning and growing in a challenging and fun atmosphere with the benefit of being outdoors.

Participating in and contributing to a supportive and enriching community environment.

Ideal for young people from the communities immediately around Canterbury Hills Camp.

Daily duties run weekly Monday to Friday, from 8am to 6pm, with an overnight on Thursdays.

Overnight LIT Program:

Assist and care for a unit group (8 campers) with a staff team through all activities, meals, cabin times, camp-out, etc. and participate in all camp special events (chapel, meals, evening program, etc.).

The LIT 1 Program includes staff training plus July only or August only.

The LIT 2 Program includes planning and participating in an off-site Adventure week.

LIT Registration Fees:

Day Camp LIT (July only or August only): $300.

Overnight LIT (July only or August only): $800.

Candidates may apply without previous camp experience.

LIT is excellent preparation for future leadership roles at camp, in churches, and in the community.

Canterbury Hills Camp does not guarantee that a LIT position will result in future staff positions.

After program acceptance, LITs are required to:

Provide a Police Reference Check (due May 20).

Attend the May Training Weekend: May 20 (morning) - 22 (afternoon).
